As a college student, I have found that Istudiez is the planner app that is best geared towards students. Assignments can be simply and quickly input, and reminders easily set. It organizes assignments, tests, quizzes…. by classes and by semester, and everything is well color coded.

This is an Apple product only thing I believe, but syncs perfectly between my MacBook, iPhone, and iPad. The calendar in it also can sync with some third party calendars, like Google Calendar and Outlook.

That being said, as an ADHD college student, the best one is whatever one actually gets used. I have had planners forced on me my whole unsuccessfully, the only way I ever started using one was because it was my own idea and priority, at age 21.

I second the recommendation of iStudiez. My son just finished 8th grade and started using an iPad for school the second semester. iStudiez is the app he uses for his planner. There used to be an app called inClass that was PHENOMENAL, but I can no longer find it. It was a planner, but also kept all notes and everything needed right in one very organized app.

I’m sure Alan Brown shares more great apps in this webinar replay/podcast too:

I got my son myHomework student planner. It is linked to a lot of schools and teachers. If they are not on it you can send an email invite them. I can see have he does and doesn’t if I want to.
The other app the two people looked good.
I’m going to try let them make their planners. See if that works.
